Joe Collins' 20mm, 1970’s English Civil War Dream list
- Firearm Armed Police – Sterling SMG, pistols, and SLR
- Melee Armed Police – Batons, ax handles, sledgehammers
- Riot Police without gas mask wearing traditional British police helmet and circle riot shield, one with riot gun, one with loudspeaker/megaphone

- Palace Guards – Guards with bearskins and SLR
- A well endowed female Aussie pub bartender to go with Mark’s “not-Al Murray” pub lord
- Fire Brigade – something that looks that can be used for putting out fires from rioters or fighting zombies
- Post-Apoc gangsters – Mad Max and GW’s Dark Future style of gangsters, but with a British feel (like wearing bowler & umbrella, or wearing a Bobby’s helmet) with 1970’s or 80’s weapons and make-shift weapons (club with spikes, etc.) Not too crazy, so they could still be used for “realistic” punk gangsters as well.
Joe Collins' Wish list for the Falklands War
- Falklands – Armed with SLR and M79 grenade launchers (I prefer to have one firing, one moving with the M79 and rifle slung, and one with M79 slung and either advancing or shooting with the SLR.) I also personally would like to see the helmet version first since most of the battles they were wearing helmets.
- Falklands – a head version for the Welsh Guards for Tumbledown
- Falklands – ARGENTINES!!!! I know that Stonewall has the old Hotspur’s Argentines, but from what I understand, their molds for them have really lost their details.
Joe Collins' Wish list for the Cold War line
- British soldiers in NBC suits and masks for Cold War Hot chemical exchange or response to zombie infestation.
- US soldiers in NBC suits and masks as above – please, both with the M1 steel helmet and the Kevlar helmet – personally, I want the M1 steel helmets first.
